This document discusses the importance of creating a unique researcher identifier such as an ORCID ID, ResearcherID, or Scopus ID. These identifiers allow researchers to create a profile showcasing their work, remain discoverable as their career progresses even as their names or affiliations change, and help address issues of name ambiguity. The document provides information on setting up profiles with ORCID, ResearcherID through Web of Science, and Scopus ID through Elsevier. It also gives tips on importing publications and links to help resources.

- 28. To determine which author names should be grouped together under a single identifier number, the Scopus Author Identifier uses an algorithm that matches author names based on their affiliation, address, subject area, source title, dates of publication citations, and co- authors.
